Smaller models are getting scary good.

I am still processing this lol. I had **Gemini 3 Pro Deepthink** try to solve a complex security puzzle (which was secretly an unwinnable paradox). It spit out this incredibly professional-looking, highly structured answer after about 15 minutes of reasoning. Just for fun, I passed its solution ov

Altman on shutting down Sora: 'I did not expect 3 or 6 months ago to be at this point we're at now; where something very big and important is about to happen again with this next generation of models and the agents they can power.'

I mean, I have 40GB of Vram and I still cannot fit the entire Unsloth Gemma-4-31B-it-UD-Q8 (35GB) even at 2K context size unless I quantize KV to Q4 with 2K context size? WTF? For comparison, I can fit the entire UD-Q8 Qwen3.5-27B at full context without KV quantization! If I have to run a Q4 Gemm

Linux Kernel developers are receiving record high number of CORRECT bug reports because of AI and expect quality of software to be much higher in the future

The message at the end (second snapshot) is particularly hopeful. It's great to see open-source software benefiting the most from the frontier models and the model developers giving back to those who created their training data. This significantly challenges the narrative pushed by some of the anti-
